ITHACA, N.Y. – Devynn Wilder's (Oswego) RBI infield single drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning as Cortland defeated Ithaca, 1-0, in the first game of a non-league doubleheader. The Red Dragons (8-6) completed the sweep with a 4-3 win in the nightcap with runs in the fifth and sixth innings to erase a 3-2 deficit.

The doubleheader was originally scheduled to be played at Cortland, but was moved to Cornell's turf field due to field conditions. The Red Dragons are supposed to play SUNYAC doubleheaders Friday at Brockport and Saturday at Geneseo, but those dates may be changed due to the upcoming weather forecast.

GAME 1: Cortland 1, Ithaca 0 (10 inn.) (Box Score)

Cortland and Ithaca played nine scoreless innings before the NCAA tiebreaker rule, with a runner starting on second base, was used to start the 10th inning. Ithaca quickly put runners on second and third with no outs after a Jessie Fleck bunt single. Cortland's Jamie Lachall (Philadelphia, PA/Sun Valley) got out of the jam, however, with a groundout, pop-up and groundout to keep the game at 0-0.

The Red Dragons winning rally started with Diane Cork (Wayland/Wayland-Cohocton) being placed at second. Niki Barbato (East Meadow/Holy Trinity) walked, and the runners moved to second and third on an Erin Wolstenholme (Oneonta) groundout.

Lachall improved to 3-2 with three innings of two-hit scoreless relief. She struck out one and walked none. Sarah Salamone (Liverpool/Cicero-North Syracuse) started and gave up four hits and one walk. Kirstyn Alonzo (Mechanicville) threw the next inning and two thirds and allowed two hits.
